SUMMARY:The Dark Matter Mystery and the Large Hadron Collider - Prof. Ben 
 Allanach (Theoretical Physics\, Cambridge)
DTSTART:20131108T181500Z
DTEND:20131108T191500Z
UID:TALK48031@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Dr. Vijay Narayan
DESCRIPTION:The existence of dark matter solves some mysteries in astronom
 ical observations\, and fits in with the measurements of the afterglow of 
 the big bang. Otherwise\, it is hypothetical stuff for which there is curr
 ently no direct evidence. In this talk\, we shall go on a journey to the u
 nimaginably huge and the incredibly tiny\, from back to a blink in an eye 
 after the big bang to the present day. Along the way\, I shall describe on
 e of the main reasons that we believe in dark matter\, and describe how th
 e Large Hadron Collider might feasibly produce enough of it to study. We s
 hall also visit the discovery of the Higgs boson\, and explore why it is i
 mportant.\n
